Guess they decided to make the name less clear on the Flexboss 21The name is quite clear, the specification sheet makes it extremely clear. Tim finally got me calling it the right name, thanks 18kpv Tim.
Do you know the name of the person you working with at EG4?
I believe this is done in a way. There are a lot of units sold at a discount or given to "influencers" to sell the idea and drive adoption in the early phases. If it was fully disclosed, you would be surprised at how much of that goes on.
Silent purge?? How so?
People seem to have an unwarranted hate towards the eg4 products. Not sure why. Gate keeping?
There are many people that read these threads and are silent and here for actual information, and they hate it when the thread goes off topic. So they report them. If it's actually breaking the rules, then we will step in. Otherwise, we don't touch a thing.
I don't get it. They are relabeled luxpower devices. And the rest are manufactured by various companies. The software and marketing material need work, but there are plenty of other options on the market.
From my perspective I think sending it out to influencers ruins these products at launch. I sit there and mention all the issues, and people cancel orders. Think about the video on flex Boss and me doing the setup. Imagine if they actually had that working properly when they released this thing half a year ago or whenever it was.
Well for me it was because my post got purged and all I thought I did was try to explain the AIO architecture and contrast how EG4 names their vs Sol-Ark the most direct competitor. Maybe it got off topic, not sure now posts are gone, just seemed like any mention of Sol-Ark was a no-no, but I feel like it's good to contrast them since they are so close in design and internal components.
Oh right, the naming thing always turns into everyone complaining about how all of them are mislabeled, then we argue about how grid tie inverters are labeled by PV capacity, then we all argue about hybrids and how they should be named, and quite a few posts didn't mention flex boss at all and then it became joking and posting youtube videos. So I deleted everything that didn't have to do with flex boss.
I upvoted it because I feel discussing various brands brings light to other avenues for potential buyers.
What do you think I should do when multiple people complain and report it as going off topic? A good case in point is the eco worthy thread that just happened. I had to delete like five pages from that thing. People were mentioning the vatrer battery, and a few others, and it pissed people off. They wanted technical discussion of eco-worthy only. Including the original poster, Bob. He spent a lot of time in work collecting data for that thread. And having people sidetrack it with other brands really pissed him and other people off.
That's a really tough situation to be in, honestly I'm glad I'm not in it.
If the person who started the thread complains about off topic then do something about it. Otherwise I don't think it matters as much. The thread starter is the only person that can really say if a thread is off topic or not seeing as they made the topic.
Oh man that would be tough! Do you want to become a mod and do that? I would love for you and anyone else here to help us out.
Good point. And when bob complained, I thought it was valid. People were mad about that clean up as well, but I think that bobs hard work should not be side tracked with random members mentioning other brands when he said he doesnt want that.
I have been involved in a lot of forums over the years and I definitely prefer heavy moderation even if it ends up hitting me for pushing edge of the topic. Again would be nice to know it a was a moderation event, but either way if in doubt purge, the reason this forums is good is because of your knowledge and judgment.
